Li Xiaonan absorbed the three girls' Nascent Souls into his Dantian Purple Palace. Following the diagram of the Three Yangs Opening to Prosperity from the Harmony Technique, the four of them intertwined together. Li Yanrong and Yun Moyu each placed a hand on Li Xiaonan's chest, while Ling Kui wrapped her body around him from behind, her hands resting on top of the two girls' hands.
Li Xiaonan chuckled, his hands wandering restlessly, occasionally caressing a soft chest here and a perky bottom there. As their breathing gradually synchronized, Li Xiaonan's mind began to immerse itself in cultivation, leaving no other thoughts behind. Waves of comfort washed over him, making it hard to pull away.
The four cultivated for an entire week. When they finally awoke from their meditation, Li Xiaonan wore a silly grin that startled the girls. "Wives, I've reached the Nine Yin Stage! And I have a feeling I'm about to break through! Hehehe, thank you, wives! Yanrong, what's wrong?"
"I... I think I'm about to break through too..." Li Yanrong blinked her almond-shaped eyes in disbelief.
"Late Stage of Nascent Soul?" Yun Moyu asked curiously.
Li Yanrong shook her head. "Out-of-Body..."
"Hiss!" The others gasped in shock. This speed was astonishing; it had only been a few months since Li Yanrong broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and now her cultivation speed was nearly catching up with Li Xiaonan's.
"Haha! Yanrong, my wife is amazing!" Li Xiaonan laughed as he pulled Li Yanrong into his embrace and gave her a kiss. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head, filled with happiness.
"Hmm? Wives, get dressed; Little Jin is coming back!" Li Xiaonan felt the Ghost Realm Monument in his Soul Ring pulsating continuously.
Li Yanrong helped Li Xiaonan put on his clothes but ended up being groped several times. Yun Moyu laughed and said, "Sister Yanrong, why are you so good to him? Look at him; he only picks on soft targets."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaonan's hand happened to be on Li Yanrong's chest. He grinned and said, "Mo Yu is really smart; Yanrong is indeed quite soft—she must be a C cup!"
Yun Moyu let out a muffled grunt. Pouting, she glanced down at her own modest assets and shook her head helplessly.
Just as Li Xiaonan and the girls stepped out of the house, An Quan Tao rushed over. "Boss! Sisters!"
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaonan raised an elegant finger to adjust his hair, causing everyone to shiver in discomfort. An Quan Tao's eyes sparkled with amusement as he grinned widely. Suddenly, an ominous feeling rose within Li Xiaonan.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just here to see how the boss is preparing. I haven't seen the life-saving technique yet, so I want to broaden my horizons," An Quan Tao said with a chuckle, throwing a flirtatious glance at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but shiver. "What about Chestnut Person?"
"Oh, she's still at Qinghua Palace!"
Li Xiaonan nodded and said to Ling Kui beside her, "Ling'er, call Lu Nishang over."
At that moment, it was indeed nighttime. Lu Nishang bounced over, holding Ling Kui's hand, her Multicolored Garment making her look particularly lively and adorable.
"This looks so good! You shouldn't just wear black in the future," Li Xiaonan said, patting Lu Nishang's head. Lu Nishang smiled and nodded, "Brother Xiaonan, do you want me to help save people?"
"Yes, is Lu Nishang willing to help me?"
"Of course! Whatever Brother Xiaonan wants me to do, I'm willing!" Lu Nishang declared firmly as she held Li Xiaonan's hand. Li Xiaonan smiled slightly and led his wives toward Qinghua Palace.
"Good granddaughter! Wait for me!" Just as they reached the door, Mei Qingdan rushed over. "I want to see too," she said, rubbing her hands together with a flushed face.
Li Xiaonan nodded and smiled. "Grandpa isn't an outsider; let's go together. Who knows, your elixirs might come in handy."
"Master! You've arrived! They..." Qingjing Year bowed respectfully.
Li Xiaonan waved his hand dismissively. "Everyone here is family; there's nothing to worry about."
The group instinctively stood against the wall, trying to make as much space as possible for Li Xiaonan.
With a single wave of his hand, the Ghost Realm Monument fell to the ground. He formed three seals with his fingers, and instantly a ghostly aura filled the air. A visible black mist began to swirl around, and soon within the misty shadows, Chen Yaojin appeared cheerfully before everyone.
Qingjing Year was just an ordinary mortal, trembling all over. To him, Chen Yaojin's kind smile appeared as a terrifying grin; to a person, ghosts were always fearsome beings.
"Boss, I found Qing Yu Year! Guess who he is?" Chen Yaojin said with a laugh.
"How would I know?" Li Xiaonan replied, extracting the medicinal properties of a Nine-Turn Pill. A faint golden light directly merged into the person lying on the bed, using True Essence Power to alter Qing Yu Year's body, reigniting his vitality. With this transformation, he could easily live another thirty years. Throughout the process, Li Xiaonan didn't even glance at Qing Yu Year; the reason was simple—he felt it unnecessary.
"Hehe, the boss knows him and is quite familiar with him," Chen Yaojin said just as an aged voice spoke up, "Young brother..."
Li Xiaonan was startled and turned around. "Grandpa!" Wasn't this the elder from Yellow Spring Village who had saved him?
"Father!" Qingjing Year exclaimed joyfully, reaching out to grab him but ended up grasping at nothing, his face filled with disbelief.
Li Xiaonan shot a fierce glare at Qingjing Year, who suddenly felt as if a great mountain pressed down upon him, making the air thick and suffocating.
Li Xiaonan turned his gaze to Qing Yu Year and smiled. "So it turns out Grandpa is a ruler of a kingdom in this world. I never expected that. Since I promised your son, I will return you to this body!"
Lu Nishang nodded at Li Xiaonan, skillfully turning around and producing the Pure Spirit Five Silk Umbrella. The pure white canopy was adorned with five-colored patterns that complemented Lu Nishang's attire perfectly.
As the Pure Spirit Five Silk Umbrella spun away from her hand, the bells on its handle chimed sweetly and urgently. It slowly rotated to envelop Qing Yu Year's soul, and the golden tassels spun faster and faster until with a "pop!" it landed horizontally on the person lying on the bed.
Qing Yu Year's soul returned to his body once more. Lu Nishang's face flushed red as she anxiously called out, "Soul return! Gather!"
The Pure Spirit Five Silk Umbrella returned to Lu Nishang's hand. Qing Yu Year slowly opened his eyes and looked at his fingers that were bending and straightening repeatedly. He sat up and exclaimed, "Am I alive again? Thank you, young brother!"
Lu Nishang's body went limp, and Li Xiaonan was startled, quickly wrapping her in his arms without time to reminisce with Qing Yu Year. He carried the unconscious Lu Nishang out of the room.
Mei Qingdan shook his head repeatedly, murmuring, "So that's how it is..." A gentle glow emanated from him, driving out the foul air of Ambergris that filled the room.
The scene of resurrection left a profound impression on everyone, and as a late-stage practitioner of the Great Vehicle, Mei Qingdan felt it most deeply. His understanding of life and death was encapsulated in that moment.
He suddenly exclaimed, "It's almost there... almost there..." The women were puzzled by his words, but they followed Li Xiaonan out the door.
Under the gentle moonlight, Li Xiaonan sat on the lawn, cradling Lu Nishang in his arms. Thoughts of the Harmony Technique and the Nine Yin Stage flashed through his mind, particularly the "Ascension of Chickens and Dogs." Though the name sounded trivial, it was quite fitting for the current situation. As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, even chickens and dogs can ascend. This meant he could convert his True Essence Power through the Harmony Technique into pure vital energy for others to use.
Seeing Lu Nishang faint and exhausted, Li Xiaonan immediately thought of this technique. He gently pinched her soft little face and said, "Silly girl, you really would do anything for me..." He sighed with a smile as he placed Lu Nishang's delicate hand in his palm—so small and endearing.
Li Xiaonan activated the Harmony Technique, channeling his True Essence Power into Lu Nishang's body.
In an instant, Lu Nishang opened her sleepy eyes and murmured, "Brother Xiaonan?"
Li Xiaonan's expression softened further; his eyes seemed to glisten with warmth. His handsome face now made it hard to distinguish between male and female beauty.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
"So comfortable!" Lu Nishang stretched widely and bounced out of Li Xiaonan's embrace.
Li Xiaonan smiled slightly just as Qing Yu Year led Qingjing Year over. The once-familiar ghost from Yellow Spring Village had returned to human form, his previous amiability replaced by an imperial aura.
He shot a glance at Qingjing Year and said, "Jingnian, why aren't you kneeling yet?"
Li Xiaonan ignored Qingjing Year completely, slowly rising to his feet and brushing off the grass from his clothes. He chuckled, "You tricked me so well; I never expected you to be a ruler. How is your grandson?"
Qing Yu Year glanced at the kneeling Qingjing Year, a twitch at the corner of his mouth before he laughed, "All is well! My greatest fortune in this life is meeting you, little brother!"
"You're too kind. You have done me a favor; I'm merely returning it now," Li Xiaonan replied as he looked at Qingjing Year. He began to speculate about this young man—at twenty years old, Qing Yu Year must be nearing eighty. It was possible for someone to have a child at sixty. But recalling what he had said about being unable to let go of his grandson made him wonder if Qingjing Year was indeed his grandson. Ah, royal bloodlines are always complicated; that's not my concern.
"No! That favor has already been repaid, and now it's me who owes you, Jingnian! Why aren't you saying anything?" Qingyu City's expression changed faster than a woman's; one moment he was amiable towards Li Xiaonan, and the next he was cold as ice towards his own son.
Qingjing Year bowed three times to Li Xiaonan, anxious, "Jingnian wants to take Master Li as his teacher!"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, stepping back in surprise, his acting exaggerated. In truth, he had already guessed this would happen. Qingyu City was right across from Han Jade City, and the two cities had always been at odds, each with their own backing, so neither could swallow the other.
In the cultivation world, there has always been an unwritten rule: regardless of worldly matters, cultivators were only interested in business. Thus, the relationship between cultivators and the imperial family resembled a business transaction—each party taking what they needed. However, it had never been heard of that a cultivator took a child from the imperial family as a disciple. The reason was simple: cultivators of lower realms looked down on them, while those of higher realms also deemed the children of the imperial family unworthy.
Being born into royalty meant being embroiled in intrigue and insincerity; wanting to connect with the heavens was much harder than for ordinary people. Therefore, it was rare to hear of any powerful cultivator emerging from an imperial family on the Starry Illusion Continent. Not to mention successfully transcending tribulations, not a single scattered immortal had come from such families, highlighting the importance of one's character.
"This... is not possible!" Li Xiaonan shook his head and led everyone back to the small courtyard.
"Boss! The Seven-Level Pagoda is yours! All the little things are inside!" Li Xiaonan nodded, gesturing with his hand as it vanished into his body. He looked at the sky and said, "Little Jin, it's almost dawn; you should return to the Heavenly Jade Ring."
Chen Yaojin chuckled, "Boss, it's fine! I can now stay in the sunlight like a normal person; it's just that my cultivation has dropped to less than ten percent..."
Li Xiaonan patted his shoulder; indeed, he seemed no different from an ordinary person. He laughed heartily, "Not bad!"
Chen Yaojin bit his lip, looking hesitant. Li Xiaonan couldn't help but furrow his brow; it was the first time he had seen Chen Yaojin like this.
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Boss, I... I have something I need to take care of. Can I leave for a while?" Chen Yaojin scratched his head. Seeing Li Xiaonan squinting at him without speaking made him anxious again. "I will come back! It won't take long!"
